SIST EN 61229:2001/A1:2001

SIST EN 61229:2001/A1:2001 is the Slovenian adoption of a European amendment for rigid protective covers used for live working on a.c. installations. It is issued by SIST and is identical to EN 61229:1995/A1:1998.

For engineers, quality managers, and buyers, this is the reference to check when a project, procedure, or supply specification involves rigid protective covers for work under voltage on alternating-current installations. It sits in the live-working / protection against electric shock area, so it is relevant where equipment choice and work methods must match the correct standard family.

What does SIST EN 61229:2001/A1:2001 specify?

SIST EN 61229:2001/A1:2001 covers rigid protective covers for live working on a.c. installations. In practical terms, it is the standard to use when a task or product is described with that exact purpose and you need the European designation used in Slovenia.

The standard is published as an EN following parallel vote, which tells readers that it comes from the European standardization process and has been adopted nationally by SIST. The classification shown on the page places it in ICS 13.260, Protection against electric shock - Live working, which is the area most likely to use or cite it.

For a reader in procurement or technical control, the main value is identification: the document tells you whether a cover, work instruction, or supplier declaration is being matched to the correct standard name and edition family. That matters when internal documents, tenders, or maintenance files must point to the same designation.

The Slovenian standard is identified as identical to EN 61229:1995/A1:1998. That equivalence matters in practice when comparing national and European references, or when a customer, inspector, or supplier uses the EN designation rather than the SIST designation.

Who uses SIST EN 61229:2001/A1:2001?

SIST EN 61229:2001/A1:2001 is used by people and organizations involved in live working on a.c. installations. That includes utility companies, electrical maintenance teams, contractors, and technical buyers who need to specify or check the correct protective covers for work under voltage.

It is also relevant to manufacturers and suppliers of protective equipment for electrical work. They use the standard name in product descriptions, technical files, and declarations so that customers can identify the intended application without ambiguity.

Quality and safety teams use the standard when reviewing whether a work package, equipment list, or purchasing requirement points to the right document. In practice, this helps them keep terminology aligned across safety procedures, procurement records, and external documentation.

Because the standard sits in the electric-shock protection and live-working area, it is most useful where the work involves alternating-current installations and the selection of rigid covers must be tied to a recognized standard reference.
